Girl Hunters, The

The Girl Hunters is a 1963 British adaptation of Mickey Spillane's 1962 novel of the same name. In an interesting twist, hard-boiled private investigator Mike Hammer is played by Spillane himself in his acting debut.

Mike Hammer pulls out his M1911A1. As Captain Pat Chambers (Scott Peters) warns later, carrying this without a permit would've been a violation of the Sullivan Act, one of the nation's oldest gun control laws still in effect.

Spillane plays with his M1911A1. Note the lack of an external extractor, which means it is not an "awful Spanish gun" (Star Model B.)

Hammer ejects one round and forces "Skinny Guy" to eat it for the mistake of bringing an icepick to a gunfight.
